Value of Sports and Visual Arts In today's society, high school sports are highly valued. With sports comes recognition, good health and so much more. Although sports provide many positives for growing teens, they are too glorified. Too much funding and support from schools and communities goes into the sports program, that will most likely only last a child to the end of their high school career.

“The arts, it has been said, cannot change the world, but they may change human beings who might change the world” (Greene).

Before getting interrupted by my teacher for not paying attention, I’d notice the pouring rain and people passing by, leaving me questioning about their lives. Everyday our lives are consumed by daily hassles, social standards, jobs, and school. From it all, nobody stops and reflects upon themselves. Artist Edward Hopper uses his conservative, dark, "anti-narrative symbolism" oil paintings to reach into one's vulnerability

When many think of Africa, they have a set myth in their minds about what it should be and what the people should be like; impoverished, uneducated, and all around needing help and needing to be taken care of. But this, is far from the case. Africa, contrary to popular belief held by so many, was once a place where innovation, knowledge, culture, and civilization itself thrived. While there is often the prevalent misconception present that Africa only became a semblance of civilization due to the
